Biography
Cayetano Bartolomé Bonnín Vásquez (born 30 June 1990), commonly known as Tano, is a Dominican footballer who plays for Spanish club CA Osasuna as a central defender.
Club career
Born in Palma, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Tano played almost all of his youth football with local RCD Mallorca, his two spells with the club totalling 11 years. He made his senior debuts with the reserves in the third division, finishing the 2009–10 season on loan to fellow league side Real Jaén.
In the 2010 summer, Tano signed with Real Madrid, being initially assigned to the B-team but only representing the third side in the fourth level. He continued playing in the Spanish lower leagues in the following years, with Valencia CF Mestalla.
In February 2013, Tano became an internet sensation after clearing the ball with a bicycle kick against CE L'Hospitalet for the division three championship. On 3 September he signed for SD Noja, but moved to Villarreal CF C on 25 October after being not allowed to play.
On 8 July 2015, Tano joined CA Osasuna in division two. He made his debut for the club on 30 August, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute for Miguel Flaño in a 1–0 home win against CD Mirandés, and contributed with 30 appearances – play-offs included – to help his team achieve promotion.
Tano first appeared in La Liga on 10 September 2016, starting and being sent off in a 2–5 loss at former side Real Madrid. The following 11 January, in the first minutes of the return match against the same opponent, he broke the fibula and tibia to his right leg after an unlucky challenge by Isco.
International career
Born to a Dominican mother, Tano made his international debut for the Dominican Republic national team on 24 March 2013, appearing in a 3–1 friendly win with Haiti.
